Peppermint Park - MUSIC AND MAN

As a music production company, our artist development area is highly active and Peppermint Park is heavily interested in young talent. Peppermint Park is equally interested in established artists looking for new alternative models in which to create and take advantage of their work. This aim has been extended over the years to incorporate music publishing, development of album artists, remixes, film- and advertisement music productions and company sound logo productions.

Apart from offering a high standard in technical capabilities, the Peppermint Park Studios offer a relaxing, creative environment perfect for all types of musical productions. Well equipped with a 90 sm Studio1 and a very large multi purpose recording hall, Peppermint Park is one of Europe's leading recording studios.

The German band that was formed in 1988 by Oliver Perau and Martin Wichary after a vacation in Hungary and that broke up in 1996 after releasing four studio albums, one live album, one best-of album and over 600 live shows. Their first low budget video of "Policy Of Truth" is still one of the most played German music videos on MTV.

In 2008, TERRY HOAX has reformed and has recorded the brand new studio album "Band Of The Day": 12 Rock songs, powerful and yet delicate, full of great hooks and melodies that show that the band has matured well. The band (still one of the best live bands around) has made a huge step forward and "Band Of The Day" proves it!

Rafael Pondé

Rafael Pondé is a musician based out the Brazilian city of Salvador, Bahia, and creates a smooth sound that mixes both traditional Brazilian rhythms and contemporary feels to create thought provoking music that provides both a joy to the ear and a soothing sensation to the soul.Rafael Ponde packs night clubs in Brazil with a crowd that both enjoys his music and the scene it creates. The vibe that his fans exchange with him and his band has allowed him to share with the world his vision of heart-felt music, poetry, and passion. Rafael Ponde is one of these artists, creating music from the heart, and pushing the envelope of modern music.

He is now a strong name in the brazilian music scene. In the beginning of his career, as a guitar player and composer on the bahian reggae band Diamba, has played with names like: The Wailers, Steel Pulse, Culture, Andrew Tosh, Naçao Zumbi, O Rappa, among others. On 2004, Pondé released his first solo CD "Atomos, palavras e cancoes", which figured on the top charts in Bahia and had positive reviews by the local critics. At that point, Pondés music concept had changed its focus (that has been primarly reggae) to influences of other brazilian styles, such as bossa, maracatú and rock. The positive feedback of his first CD brought out an invitation for being part, as a guitar player and singer, of the 2005 national tour of Natiruts, the brazilian most sucessfull reggae and dub band. He stayed in the band until July 2006, when he left to focus on his solo career again.

Kaiserkind

KAISERKIND represent a new generation of rock bands in Germany. Hard working, straight forward and absolutely determined to push themselves further on up the road without forgetting the reason why they started out - the fun of playing music together! Their music crosses over from the heaviness of pounding guitar riffs to the uniqueness of melodic hooks teamed up with a charismatic German voice. Sometimes with a punk attitude, sometimes stuff to just bounce to, but always 100% recognizable KAISERKIND.
The band consists of two pairs of brothers - Simon/Christian and Christoph/Stefan - along with youngster Timon.
KAISERKIND are clearly a live band! The numerous awards they have won (Deutscher Rock und Pop Preis 2007, Beck's On Stage Festival Challenge 2008, N-Joy Band Battle, John Lennon Talent Award 2008/2009) as well as the list of famous artists they shared one stage with, proves that. The Hives, Beatsteaks, Die Ärzte, Thrice, The Killers, Söhne Mannheims to name but a few.
Brace yourselves for these guys, 'cause KAISERKIND is most definitely a band, that you're gonna hear a lot about in the not too distant future...
